Cat care tips for Philadelphia

Keep your cat comfortable through Philadelphia's four distinct seasons

Cold Philadelphia winters

Philadelphia winters bring cold temperatures, ice storms, and snow. Rowhouses and older buildings can have significant drafts. Ask your sitter to check for cold drafts near your cat's sleeping areas and ensure heating is consistent.

Hot, humid summers

Philadelphia summers are hot and humid. Ensure air conditioning is available and running before your sitter arrives. Ask them to check indoor temperatures during heat waves and keep blinds closed on south-facing windows.

Rowhouse window safety

Philadelphia's rowhouses often have windows close to street level or on upper floors with limited screens. Ensure all windows used for ventilation have secure screens, and inform your sitter of any windows that should remain closed.

Seasonal enrichment

Philadelphia has four real seasons, and indoor cats benefit from seasonal enrichment. Bird feeders visible from windows are popular in Philly neighborhoods. Ask your sitter to top up the bird feeder so your cat has entertainment year-round.
